Ignore calls by IES for Energy Minister’s removal – Kofi Abrefa Afena

The spokesperson for the Energy Minister, Kofi Abrefa Afena, has dismissed calls by the Executive Director of the Institute of Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi, for Energy Minister, Dr.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh to be removed due to the challenges in the power sector.

According to Mr Abrefa Afena, it is false for the IES boss to say that the Minister is out of touch with reality.

“Dr Prempeh is not someone who talks too much but he believes in results. Nana Amoasi has no idea of the sleepless nights the Minister endures with the aim of addressing the current challenges,” he said.

Mr Abrefa Afena posited that the current power challenges are being resolved “and soon the results will be visible for all to see”.

Meanwhile, pressure continues to mount on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to publish a timetable for the current power crisis.
